Richardson-based Theatro Labs—a maker of AI and voice-powered communication and digital workflow software for frontline workers—has been acquired by Chicago-based Motorola Solutions.
Theatro serves well-known U.S. retailers across a broad range of merchant categories. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Theatro’s co-founder and CTO, Ravi Shankar Kumar, was featured in Dallas Innovates’ inaugural AI 75 list for his pioneering work with multiple AI and generative AI technologies.
Theatro’s software-as-a-service platform provides a suite of collaboration applications that deliver information in real time to help improve productivity and physical safety. The platform is a strong complement to Motorola Solutions’ existing enterprise security technologies and will further help enhance support for frontline workers who make up 60% of the addressable global workforce and represent tens of millions of employees in North America alone.
Motorola Solutions said it expects to integrate Theatro’s complementary workflows into its wider portfolio of technologies—body cameras, fixed video, panic buttons, and radios—to provide new value-added services, including new security use cases, while expanding into industries such as hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, and education.
Motorola Solutions said its technologies support public safety agencies and enterprises alike, enabling the collaboration that’s critical for safer communities, safer schools, safer hospitals, and safer businesses.
